Chery Group Becomes the Fastest-climbing Automaker in Fortune Global 500, Powerfully Empowering LEPAS's Global Growth
WUHU, China, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chery Group, LEPAS's parent company, has recently achieved remarkable feats. In the 2025 Fortune Global 500 list, it surged 152 places to 233rd, becoming the year's fastest-rising automaker. A month earlier, its cumulative exports exceeded 5 million units, a first for Chinese automotive brands. This "Double 500" milestone not only showcases Chery's global competitiveness but also fuels LEPAS's globalization. As a pioneer in Chery's globalization strategy, LEPAS embodies a vision for future mobility. It adopts the integration strategy of "Leopard Aesthetic Design, Exquisite Third Space, Intelligent Safety, and Full-scenario Super Platform" to handle diverse travel scenarios, promotes the philosophy "Elegance is Power", and brings technology and warmth to global users' "exquisite life". Chery's improved Global 500 ranking and export breakthrough serve as "trust endorsements" for LEPAS in global markets. With 22 years as China's top passenger car exporter and over 17 million global users, Chery provides a user base for LEPAS. LEPAS can leverage Chery's mature overseas sales and service networks instead of building channels from scratch, accelerating its "Exquisite Life Experience Journey". Integral to Chery's strategy, LEPAS is deeply embedded in the group's global resources across R&D, manufacturing, and supply chain. For instance, sharing Chery's cutting-edge tech, LEPAS has developed full-link product capabilities to stay industry-leading. Zhong Wei, LEPAS's Deputy CEO, noted "LEPAS was born in Rome". Empowered by Chery, LEPAS has advanced rapidly: its first model, L8, rolled off the line in April, favored by urban elites for its design, intelligent cockpit, space, and safety. On July 23, its "L8 + L6 + L4" lineup debuted at the Indonesia International Auto Show, securing initial orders and offering a "new standard for exquisite life travel". Chery's "Double 500" achievements, spanning trust, channels, R&D, and industrial chains, act as an "acceleration engine" for LEPAS. Empowered by Chery, LEPAS, with its "Colorful Life, Masterful Drive" proposition, is scripting a new chapter in the global exquisite travel market.

Tencent Cloud Named Leader in Omdia's Global Cloud Platforms for Games 2025 Report
HONG KONG, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Omdia, a renowned global market research authority, has recently released its " Omdia Market Radar: Cloud Platforms for Games – 2025" report. Building on its previous recognition as a "Leader" in Omdia's 2024 report on cloud platforms for games in Asia Pacific and Oceania, Tencent Cloud —the cloud business of global leading technology company Tencent—has, for the first time, been positioned as a "Leader" in Omdia's global report for cloud platforms for games. This achievement is attributed to Tencent Cloud's cutting-edge technological capabilities and strong market leadership. According to the report, Tencent Cloud demonstrated outstanding performance across seven key capability dimensions. Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President of Tencent Cloud International, said: "We are proud to be recognized by Omdia as a global leader in cloud platforms for games. This achievement reflects our dedication to driving innovation and equipping developers with world-class infrastructure and solutions tailored for the gaming industry. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as AI & machine learning, Tencent Cloud is committed to delivering secure, scalable, and immersive gaming experiences for players everywhere. As we continue to partner with developers and industry leaders across the globe, we are excited to shape the future of gaming and power the next wave of industry growth and transformation." The report offers a comprehensive evaluation of global cloud platforms, analyzing their strengths across seven core capability dimensions: game development, game servers, multiplayer services, LiveOps, database & analytics, AI & machine learning, as well as partners and integrations. Notably, this is the first time Omdia has included AI & machine learning as evaluation criteria, providing a more nuanced perspective on the technological maturity and industry adaptability of cloud platforms. In this assessment, Tencent Cloud achieved the highest rating of "Advanced" in game servers, multiplayer services, and AI & machine learning, while also delivering exceptional performance in game development, LiveOps, and database & analytics. Through its robust technical capabilities and significant industry influence, Tencent Cloud was recognized as one of the global leaders in cloud platforms for games in 2025. For the gaming industry, Tencent Cloud has established a global, high-performance network infrastructure and developed end-to-end solutions tailored specifically for gaming. These solutions are particularly robust in areas such as game servers, multiplayer services, and AI & machine learning. Tencent Cloud offers industry-leading game server solutions supported by a global data center network with 21 geographic regions and 56 availability zones. These solutions provide game companies with low-latency, high scalability, and robust DDoS protection, making them especially effective at managing the fluctuating workloads typical of game servers. During surges of players from around the world, Tencent Cloud's servers dynamically scale and intelligently manage traffic, ensuring a seamless and smooth gaming experience for all users. As large models become increasingly integrated into gaming industry applications, Tencent Cloud's solutions—powered by its Hunyuan —has developed a comprehensive suite of AI design tools and services for game developers. These tools enable an end-to-end workflow for game asset creation, featuring capabilities such as text-to-3D and image-to-3D modeling. Additionally, with platforms like Tencent Cloud TI-ONE and a reinforcement learning platform tailored for virtual character training, developers can now shorten the time required to train NPC behavior from several months to just a few days. For example, Kuro Games' open-world action RPG "Wuthering Waves" leverages Tencent Cloud's GoSkinning technology—powered by Tencent's advanced expertise in art asset creation and AIGC capabilities—to intelligently and automatically skin a diverse range of characters and costumes. By automating vertex weight assignment, this solution significantly reduces the manual effort typically required for hand skinning, greatly increasing production efficiency and reducing the manual adjustment workload for animators. The third-person shooter game "Kalpa of Universe", developed by iDreamSky, has been launched to players worldwide. To navigate the complex and diverse challenges of global game publishing, Tencent Cloud provided comprehensive support covering compliance, networking, and architecture, ensuring a seamless rollout across all regions. Backed by over 400 professional certifications and more than 20 compliance accreditations both domestically and internationally, Tencent Cloud leverages its robust technical expertise to empower companies to expand confidently into overseas markets. In the area of security, Tencent's Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE) delivers comprehensive game security services by leveraging AI and big data technologies to detect and prevent cheating behaviors, including emerging cheats such as DMA (Direct Memory Access) and AI-based cheats. Leveraging nearly 20 years of anti-cheat experience and a vast database of cheat samples, ACE has fostered a fair and secure gaming environment for millions of players across hundreds of games worldwide. For instance, "The Bornless", a PC action horror First Person Shooter (FPS) game developed by Cathedral Studios, has adopted ACE to tackle diverse online security challenges and ensure a fair, competitive experience for its ever-growing player community. Drawing on years of deep expertise and industry-leading technologies in gaming, Tencent Cloud delivers comprehensive, full-lifecycle cloud services to game developers worldwide. From high-performance global deployment networks and specialized game servers to advanced security solutions, AI-powered creative tools, real-time operations platforms, and data analytics, Tencent Cloud is dedicated to being the most trusted technology partner for game developers, empowering them to overcome the challenges of globalization and capture the opportunities of the AI era. Tencent Cloud, one of the world's leading cloud companies, is committed to creating innovative solutions to resolve real-world issues and enabling digital transformation for smart industries.

Kavalan Makes History at Tokyo Whisky and Spirits Competition 2025 Clinching Double 'Best of the Best Single Malt'
TWSC Says Their Top 'Best of the Best' Award Has Never Been Awarded to Two Whiskies Before TAIPEI, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In the final round of the 2025 Tokyo Whisky and Spirits Competition (TWSC), Taiwan's premier whisky distillery achieved the impossible, scooping not just one "Best of the Best Single Malt", but two of the same award. Organisers said: "Due to a tie, this category has two winners. This marks the first time in TWSC history that the 'Best of the Best' title has been awarded to two whiskies." Kavalan Solist PX Sherry Cask and new expression, Kavalan Lán, were jointly named "Best of the Best Single Malt" after a rigorous double selection procedure. Judges found PX Sherry to have a " silky and profound finish with umami depth", while Lán was described as " caramelised nuts, honey, and temple incense" creating a " deep and intriguing aroma". King Car Group Chairman Mr. YT Lee said Japan was one of the world's most refined whisky markets. "Japan is where connoisseurs appreciate complexity, depth, and character. To win the first ever tied 'Best of the Best' in Tokyo is an extraordinary honour. We are thrilled to have our craftsmanship recognised on such a grand stage." Product Descriptions LÁN Single Malt Whisky (700ml, 43% ABV) The name LÁN carries deep meaning. It stands for "Kavalan", pays homage to our home "Yilan" and represents the orchid "lán" in Mandarin, symbolizing Taiwan's reputation as the "Kingdom of Orchids." This is the first Kavalan whisky named after our home region, with packaging featuring expressive calligraphy and delicate orchid motifs, reflecting a distinctly Asian aesthetic. On the nose: orchid, rose, jasmine, peony, orange blossom, butter, vanilla, chocolate, and sandalwood. On the palate: floral-fruity freshness, butter, cocoa, and spiced oak, finishing like a fine eau de parfum. Kavalan Solist PX Single Cask Strength (700ml, 50–59.9% ABV) PX (Pedro Ximénez), the sweet dessert sherry, is often referred to as the "King of Sherries,". Kavalan Solist PX is a rich, warming whisky, brimming with juicy raisins and honeyed syrup. In blind tastings, its surprising maturity has judges mistaking it for a 20 or 30-year-old dram. This is the second time Solist PX has been awarded "Best of the Best," following its 2023 win. On the nose: rich raisins, fig jam, toffee sweetness, and a touch of dark chocolate. On the palate: silky and full-bodied, with honeyed dates, cocoa, nutmeg spice, and a lingering sherry warmth. The Solist series takes its name from the idea of a soloist performing in Kavalan's warehouse. Each cask is bottled at single cask strength without colouring or chill-filtration. Kavalan also set a new record of 7 superior gold and 11 gold medals in the contest this year. Judges' notes for select Superior Gold medal whiskies: Kavalan Solist PX Sherry Cask Kavalan Lán Kavalan Solist ex-Bourbon Cask Kavalan Triple Sherry Cask Kavalan Solist Moscatel Sherry Cask Kavalan continues to break boundaries and redefine what world-class whisky can be, crafted on the small island of Taiwan, but celebrated across continents. Full List of the Awards: Superior Gold Gold About the Tokyo Whisky & Spirits Competition The TWSC is one of Asia's largest competitions and the only one in Japan. Building on the relationships of the more than two decades since the establishment of the Japan Whisky Research Centre, TWSC can draw from hundreds of judges from across Japan of bartenders, manufacturers, importers, and more, as well as Whisky Connoisseur certification holders. In the 2025 competition, approximately 30 countries participated, with a total of 639 spirit entries submitted. In the first round, 213 judges participated and in the second round, 41. About Kavalan Whisky Kavalan Distillery in Yilan County has been pioneering the art of single malt whisky in Taiwan since 2005. Our whisky, aged in intense humidity and heat, sources the crystal meltwaters of Snow Mountain and is enhanced by sea and mountain breezes. These conditions combine to create Kavalan's signature creaminess. Taking Yilan County's old name, our distillery is backed by more than 45 years of beverage-making under parent company, King Car Group. We have collected 900 gold or higher awards from the industry's most competitive contests.
